PowerBraces are used to stabilize a failing wall that is bowing or tilting.  PowerBraces are steel I-beams secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to the floor and floor joists.  PowerBraces immediately stabilize your foundation walls and can be tightened over time to potentially reverse wall failure.

What causes a basement wall to bow?  The soil that is around the outside of the home expands with heavy rains and freezing temperatures.  This expansion causes the soil to press against the foundation wall.  Over time, the wall can no longer support the pressure and it causes bowing, cracking and tipping.  

What can be done to resolve this problem?  The PowerBrace System is designed to immediately stabilize a wall that is bowing, cracking or tipping.  The PowerBrace System consists of steel I-beams that are secured tight against the wall anchored with brackets attached to the floor joist and floor.  The PowerBraces will immediately stabilize the foundation wall and the adjustable bracket can be tightened over time to potentially reverse the wall failure.

CleanSpace Drainage Matting has dimples throughout the matting to create a channel for water to flow out of the crawl space.  The CleanSpace liner is a white plastic liner that is attached to the walls and floor of the crawl space to provide a vapor barrier between the ground and the home.  CleanSpace Vent Covers are used to cover the existing vents to create an airtight seal and prevent debris from entering the crawl space.  

SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation is polystyrene foam insulation that has been infused with graphite particles to reflect heat.  This makes the crawl space and the floors above warmer in the winter. 

SmartJack Floor Supports are steel piers that are set into a structural stone and then installed under the floor that needs to be raised.  The adjustable screw can be used to jack up the floor to the original position.  This can be adjusted in the future if needed.  

The SaniDry Sedona filters and dries the air in the crawl space to prevent the home from becoming too humid making it uncomfortable and encouraging mold growth and musty odors.  The filter in the SaniDry eliminates mold spores, dust mite droppings, and particles in the air.  

The TURTL Crawl Space Access System is made of a rigid plastic that will never rot, rust, or need to be painted.  The TURTL door is strong enough to stand on, can be locked for security, and is weather tight.

A home in Cincinnati had a corner of a covered porch that had started to settle, causing a separation between the roof and the support post.  To lift the porch foundation, we used the Helical Pier System.  The Helical Pier is a steel pier that is mechanically screwed into the ground until it reaches stable soil.  A bracket is attached to the porch foundation and also to the Helical Pier.  This transfers the weight of the corner of the porch to the pier and immediately stabilizes the foundation.  For more information, or to learn about the Helical Pier System, schedule an appointment with a Certified Inspector. 

This Cincinnati basement was experiencing pooling water in their basement. They were fitted with a SuperSump to pump water out of the basement and back outside where it belongs! Fitted with a high-end Zoeller cast iron pump, a WaterWatch alarm, a SuperLiner with a "pump ring," and an airtight lid - the SuperSump is a great choice for this basement! Adding an IceGuard prevents the discharge line from clogging or freezing in the winter.

A basement in Erlanger, Kentucky was having issues with water pooling on the basement floor after heavy rain. Our team inspected the property and concluded that the water was mainly making its way into the basement through leaking wall cracks. We installed crack covers over these wall cracks in order to channel the leaks down to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard will then capture the water and drain it to the SuperSump to be pumped out of the basement. 

Our team was called out to a home in Cincinnati, Ohio to determine why the doors and windows were sticking. After some examination, it was determined that the home's foundation was sinking over time and becoming uneven. Our team installed a series of Helical Piers beneath the perimeter of the foundation in order to permanently stabilize it against further settling. 

There is nothing worse than a flooded crawl space. Water in the crawl space can lead to mold, mildew, and wood rot. That is what kept happening to the crawl space of a home in North Bend, Ohio. Every time that it rained, the crawl space would pool with water - which was starting to rot some of their wooden support beams. They knew it was time to call the experts after a storm in June left several inches of water under their home. 

The first thing our crew did was encapsulate the space and seal off any vents with airtight covers. Then they replaced the rotten wooden support beams and stabilized the new support system with SmartJacks. Lastly, they installed a SmartSump. This sump pump is uniquely designed for crawl spaces and will pump any water collected back outside. 

Victoria K. had her back patio worked in the past by another company. Unfortunately, their solution didn't last. First, Victoria saw our trucks then found us again at the Cincinnati Home and Garden show. That's when she decided to schedule an appointment with us.

We provided Victoria with an estimate for our superior solution to her sinking concrete problem. Our PolyLevel System will be more cost-effective than replacing the back patio and lasts longer than mudjacking.

We had a concrete repair job in Eaton, Ohio that required more precision than normal on a poly level technique. This particular slab of concrete that needed to be lifted was imprinted with small hands from 20 years ago. The hand imprints were left by the children of the owner's of the home, and were very important to the home owners. The hands had slight cracks in them, so when we were going to lift the concrete, we had to be extra careful. Luckily our team was able to give the perfect lift and carefully seal the hands back together. The home owners were so lucky their piece of history had not been torn apart.
